[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dh went to UVA. We have since lived in California, Texas, Indiana, and Georgia. No one outside of the immediate area gives UVA any more weight than U-anything else. [/quote]

Sorry had to do it.[/quote][/b]

But they are getting internships and jobs here on the exploding Tysons/Dulles corridor.  Both of my children have paid summer internships through GMU with big name tech companies this summer.[/quote]

Isn't that like wearing Prada shoes that don't fit right and give you nasty blisters just because they're Prada?
